The chemical analyses will be testing for specified parameters such as purity, homogeneity, stability, and concentration of various analytes. The contract requires methods validation performance by the contractor of the Government's recommended methods and/or approved methods for the analytes, and analysis of samples in a specified time period. The types of specialized analytical instrumentation that are utilized for this contract include but are not limited to gas-liquid and high performance liquid chromatographs that may be coupled to a mass spectrometer, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer, atomic absorption spectrophotometer with graphite furnace capabilities, infra-red and ultraviolet spectrometers, a mass spectrometer, and polarograph in order to perform a myriad of complex sample analyses. The contract also requires the Contractor to handle, transport, and dispose of hazardous materials. In addition, the contract requires compliance with the stringent requirements of the Good Laboratory Practices regulation. The prospective contractor must provide a facility, equipment, and instrumentation as mentioned above to perform the required chemical analyses, and staff who are knowledgeable and have practical (hands-on) experience with specialized analytical instrumentation to perform in the specified time period, complex chemical analysis such as but not limited to nutrient analysis (amino acids, total fat, fatty acids, minerals, trace elements, water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins), contaminants (organochlorine and organophosphorus pesticides, antioxidants, heavy metals), toxins and additives analyses.
